"Conveniently located across from the marina, and close to several excellent local restaurants. There is a nice hike to the lighthouse from the hotel, and other great hikes that start a few kilometers (short drive) away. The attached restaurant was excellent and helpful in providing take-away lunch for my dive day. I really enjoyed my stay."
